El sueño de Úrsula

Ursula's Dream revisits a fascinating medieval legend: to avoid marriage, the daughter and heir of a king, at the height of her ambitions, leads eleven other virgins from Cornwallis to Rome. Aetherius, her suitor, follows her. In each of these extraordinary women appear the conflicts of women today—the constant ambivalence: the hatred and fear of desiring to love. In an era when the world, much like today, was a catalog of famines, plagues, and wars, Maria Negroni has crafted a dazzling female epic. Her characters are tragic, vulnerable, and courageous; her language and style, a tour de force. The "journey toward the light" that Ursula undertakes is a quest for identity and moral liberation.
